Before I've already told you guys about the mistakes that I often do in washing my face in this post. Now I thought I'd share to you too about the mistakes that I often do in doing my makeup and I'm pretty sure you must have done it too at least once. Wanna know what it is? Go scroll down...

I think not only me but most woman must've done this mistakes before. The best way to choose the right foundation shade is by testing it on your jawline and choose the shades that come closest to your skin tone and because sometimes foundation tends to oxidize it's better if you walk around first after you tested it to see if the color changes or not. Before I knew this trick I usually test the foundation on the back of my hand but unfortunately my hands is paler than my face so I always ends up with a foundation that is lighter than my actual skin tone.

I used to wonder why the acne on my face never go away or why I keep breaking out whenever I did my makeup. The answer is pretty simple..!! I rarely clean my makeup brush and sponge. I mean I swap them with wipes everytime I put on my makeup but I rarely deep cleanse them. If you think about it, those things collects dirts and bacteria right? I mean I clean my face every morning and evening but WTH I neglect my brush and sponge (-_-)!

To reduce the appeareance of dark circles under my eyes I use to think that I have to choose a concealer that has a lighter shade than my usual foundation. It turns out that this method is also wrong because instead of concealing it, it'll draw attention right to the "concealed" area. The right why to cover the appeareance of dark circle is by using a peach color corrector that will neutralize the blue and purple in dark circle. Before I own a color corrector I use an orange/peach lipstick on the dark circle area and then I blend it with the concealer. As for the concealer I use a shade that is a match with my foundation shade. Oh and don't forget to set the concealer so it won't budge!

I usually just make 3 dots under my eyes with a concealer and then blends it. It turns out that applying it in an upside-down triangle shape below the eye creates an overall brightening effect that looks much more natural.

I have an oily-combination skin and my T-zone gets really oily during the day, so in order to counter this problem I tend to over powder and then my makeup will look super heavy and cakey. The best way to avoid this is by using a blotting paper and reduce the urge to powder over and over again.

I'm a lipbalm kind of gal but once in a while either I ran out of lipbalm or maybe just forgot to bring it I keep choosing to use "the" matte lipstick. Well you all know how that's going to end right?? Don't attempt to try this girls... It won't look good I promise you m(_._)m

I know it's a makeup taboo but I have done this more than once. Sleeping with makeup on not only will cause breakouts it will also clogged your pore, make your pore bigger and the worst of all premature aging!! So even if I'm dead tired from working I at least cleans my face with a cleansing wipes and I tried to cut it back too. I only do that when I think I can't get up anymore #LOL nowadays I tried my best to really clean my face before bed because clean face makes a better sleep ^^

This kind of mistakes is pretty tricky because not everybody has a decent lighting in their makeup area or maybe own a hollywood mirror. To deal with this problem I tried as much as possible to do my makeup in an area that has a similar lightning with my destination. For example if I want to go to an evening garden party I think it maybe okay doing my makeup in my room buat if I want to go to an outdoor area in broad daylight I try to find the brightest place to do my makeup.

This is a makeup mistake that I just found out a few months ago and made me feel stupid because I didn't realize it sooner. So sometimes when I use foundation after primer I found that my foundation gets balled up and didn't adhere nicely. I thought it was because I use the foundation to soon but I found out later because my primer and foundation have different formula so they don't match!! Use water-based foundations with water-based primers and matching silicone primers and foundations for best results. You can look it up on your primer and foundations ingredients list to match them.

I think we’ve all done it before. Swipe makeup brush onto a blusher and when it took too much products we thoughtlessly blow on the bristles to get rid of the excess. Unfortunately, blowing on brushes creates a playground for bacteria growth. The bacteria can build and build with each innocent blow and then transfer to your pores to promote unsightly breakouts. Instead of blowing, try tapping your brush against your arm or the edge of your vanity.
